Love Notes

































We always love receiving "love notes" in the mail from past brides and clients. A very sweet one came yesterday from Joanna, who was married to Scott in June at the
Vinoy Resort in St. Petersburg. What a beautiful venue and what a stunning bride inside and out!! Hope and myself enjoyed spending the wedding day styling Joanna and her bridesmaids and lovely mom. Thank you Joanna for having us out, the pleasure was all ours!!

"Holly,
I just wanted to thank you and your sister for making my mother, bridesmaids and myself beautiful for my wedding! My hair and makeup came out perfect, just like I envisioned. You were a joy to work with and I will definitely recommend you to friends! Thanks again, Joanna"

Quince Guide Show

I had the pleasure of styling all the super adorable models for the 2010 Quince Guide Show and Magazine this year. And let me tell you these girls have some gorgeous long thick hair!!! So, of course, I enjoyed it tremendously!! The Show was caught on film by the very talented Jose of JJVideofilm. Check out our work on the runway and the fun video created to capture it! And if you're having a quince make sure to give us a call!

Summer Wedding Makeup



Looking at blogs today and came across this one, in which I totally agree with the advice for brides that is given here (check below). For summer makeup Bronze and Golds are a fabulous way to punch up the neutral tones worn by many brides without feeling over dramatic or too bold. We recommend a black liquid liner along with some false lashes (which can be done very natural) to make the eye the stand out feature. To tone down the eye, use neutral browns and add a pop of bronze on the inner corner of the lid. Use pencil liner instead of liquid which will give a more subtle look. Be sure to use a stronger lip color if toning down your eyes. As you always need a standout feature!! Be sure to add some bronzer to the face and a nice shimmer highlight on top of the cheekbone above your blush to give you that sunkissed look. Here is an example of a bronze/gold beachy look we did this week on the gorgeous Adrianna.
